[MOTORHEAD]

Well my MG guy got back to me today, and after talking to his supplier (Moss), told me they had not seen this type of a failure before. His records showed I had bought the rack 3 yrs ago, so they wouldn't replace under warranty.
The guy I got it from said he would replace it at his cost, so I'll be going there tomorrow to pick it up. I'll pull the boot on the rt side (or both) and see what's in there.
I did talk to Flaming River tech support to see what material their bushing was made of. The guy couldn't tell me.
